Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is an HTML color code? (Definition)
In computing, colors are defined by an RGB triplet (red, green, blue). In the HTML language, this triplet is quoted with the character # (hash) followed by 6 hexadecimal characters (0-9a-f). The 6 characters correspond to 3 pairs of 2 characters, respectively encoding the values of red, green and blue (RGB or RGB in English) via a hexadecimal code (between 00 and ff = 255)
Example: #ff007f corresponds to ff (255) red, 00 green and 7f (127) blue. This mixture corresponds to the color Rose
Why some HTML color codes have 3 characters?
A variant in the writing of HTML color codes is allowed: a code with 3 characters, one for red, one for green, one for blue (instead of 2 for each). This limits the number of available values (16 values per color instead of 256), but has the advantage of reducing the write size. To get a long code, double each character.
Example: '# f70' matches f (ff: 255) red, 7 (77 => 119) green and 0 blue. This mixture corresponds to an orange color
Why some HTML color codes have a name?
Hexadecimal writing is not very readable for an untrained person, so a list of common colors (in English) has been defined to be used.
Example: color=black to display black
It is possible to write 256^3=16777216 colors, these 16 million colors do not all have a name, only a few have benefited from an alphabetical code.
